and others I’m too lazy to find right now.

I’m not asking how to make an incredibly complex language. I just wanted to understand the basics. I would use c# as the underlying language. I know it’s vague. I was hoping for something very basic to direct me.

I think I’m mostly interested in creating scripting languages. For example, I see people that write programs but then they have a scripting language for their application. I do not want to rewrite a windows scripting language. Say I had a text file reader and for some reason wanted a scripting language to automate something. I’m not sure how to ask.

Thank you.
